Tests conclude Taylor died of natural causes
The medical examiner said Zachary Taylor died from natural illness, not arsenic poisoning as claimed by author Clara Rising. Arsenic traces were present but not at poisoning levels, and gastroenteritis was listed as the original cause. Taylor’s remains were disinterred in Louisville for the study, and his descendant expressed relief at the findings.
